Image forming apparatus capable of performing printing processing, method of controlling the same, and related storage medium

摘要

An image forming apparatus, a method of controlling it and a storage medium. The apparatus detects a level of a load on the CPU, and selects, when a communication request is received, a communication mode corresponding to the communication request from a plurality of communication modes in accordance with a level of the load on the CPU detected levels of the loads on the CPU for communication modes stored in a storage unit. The apparatus communicates with a device that issued the communication request in accordance with the selected communication mode.

主权项

1. An image forming apparatus capable of performing printing processing, the image forming apparatus comprising:
a communication unit configured to perform a communication with an external apparatus on a network; an accepting unit configured to accept a communication request; a determining unit configured to determine whether or not the image forming apparatus is performing the printing processing; and a controlling unit configured to control so that, in a case where the accepting unit accepts the communication request and the determination unit determines that the image forming apparatus is not performing the printing processing, the communication unit performs a communication, based on the communication request accepted by the accepting unit, using multi-session communication, in which data is transmitted in parallel using a plurality of sessions with the external apparatus, and so that, in a case where the accepting unit accepts the communication request and the determination unit determines that the image forming apparatus is performing the printing processing, the communication unit performs a communication, based on the communication request accepted by the accepting unit, without using the multi-session communication.
